Again, you pick and choose what you look at to determine what “helps” and what “harms.”
Support your claim: state who was harmed by decriminalization in Portugal.
Support your own claim.
What claim do you imagine me to have made?
Open your eyes and stop lying to yourself and you’ll see the damage that drugs have done to America
I've never denied the damage done by drug use - nor by alcohol use. The point is that banning alcohol or other drugs has not been shown to decrease that damage, but clearly does damage of its own.
since they were popularized by your buddies the 1960’s radical leftists.
They're not my buddies and won't become so no matter how often you repeat it.
Drugs are ruining our young. Yet you pretend that it is the illegality of those drugs and not drug-usage itself that is the cause of the problem.
Wrong. Both are problems - but the problems of illegality are accompanied by no demonstrable reduction in the problems of use.
So where is that list of benefits to both society and the individual since your buddies the 1960’s radical leftists popularized the recreational use of drugs?
Where is that list of benefits?
You keep flapping your gums, but all you keep saying is:
“I want to do drugs legally and to hell with all the damage it causes to others.”
You are a typical, leftist, self-centered liberaltarian.
You are a troll.
Go back to leftist cesspool that is the DU where you and your liberal ideology can bathe in indolent, drugged fantasies about the utopia of Amsterdam, where the streets are littered with burned-out druggies like NYC is covered with with food wrappers.
Do you see how silly is the basic point in this last post of yours?
Recreational drug problems cause problems.
The increased use of recreational drugs since the 1960’s has increased those problems.
Keeping drugs illegal has not eliminated those problems.
Therefore, make them legal (and far more prevalent) and the problems may go away.
How could someone be so foolish as to truly believe that string of illogic?
Here is the logical conclusion to your argument:
Therefore, if you make the recreational use of drugs even more prevalent, those problems will continue to increase and they will increase not at the same rate but exponentially as those people who will not try drugs because they are illegal will try drugs and a percentage of them will be harmed by that usage.
That is how logic works.
But not in the liberal mind that has only its own selfish interests at heart.
